Open Space Recommendations

ANALYSIS:

• Open space usually distributed as thin layer at perimeter minimizes impact/effect

• Often landscape is under awnings or enclosing arcades

PROPOSALS:

• Consolidate open space into useful plazas and gardens

• Maximum width-to-depth ratio of 1:3, short side to the street

• Paseos open to the sky, minimum width of 10’

• Building passages covered, minimum width of 10’

ACCEPTABLE BETTERLandscaping is welcome, but the designs above almost completely separate the colonnade space from the sidewalk/street experience

In the top two images, the open colonnade is more a part of the sidewalk/street. In the bottom image, the colonnade is used as café seating, which enhances the street experience


BESTIn these images, the open space has been consolidated into meaningful civic spaces: a plaza (top), a corner plazoleta (bottom left), and a mid-block loggia connecting to a paseo
